Episode notes

Your Monday catch-up, with a security lens. This week: Meta cuts around 8,000 jobs to fund its AI build-out. On the breach desk it's a heavy week — Medtronic confirms a breach via an SEC filing, the Everest gang leaks two US banks through a shared vendor, North Korea-linked attackers pull off a $290M crypto heist, and ADT confirms customer data was stolen.
